About Me

Traveling teacher

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING: I've found that I surf mostly for coffee and good conversation. I hear good things happen and like to know that CS is another option.

Interests

I like art and history museums, open markets, climbing to see views of the city, and parks during the day. Then bars, foreign films and music during the evenings.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm into exploring what's out there, and discovering the things I've missed. I listen to NPR programs. I pick up novels over textbooks sometimes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Great Wall, lived abroad, and from where I come from that's a big deal. Growing up I lived in the same place for a very long time. By trying out new places I'm making up for all the time I missed. In transit.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach and pretend I'm an expert, but I'm really not. So I need to do lots of learning on the side. I'm looking for other more experienced teachers I can study under. I won't be fooled by tom-foolery!
